Minnetonka commute (Plymouth, Eden Prairie, St. Louis Park: place to live, park, area)

[cu79]

I posted here awhile back with a few questions (and you all were very helpful). What kind of commute would it be from Prior Lake and/or Savage to a job in Minnetonka?

[cu79]

Was wondering if anyone had any input on this?

Well, I am in HR and I just lost a guy who commuted from Savage to Plymouth (which borders Mtka).

His resignation letter began: The commute was murder

My son used to live in Prior Lake and commuted to Eden Prairie to work; he now lives in St. Louis Park and has a much shorter and more relaxing commute. (EP borders Minnetonka on the south; he now has to drive through Minnetonka to get to work).

That's the only thing *I* know about this commute.

I think the key to cutting your commute times in the twincities area is to not cross any rivers.

[2blessed2stress]

Excellent point Kuan. I've turned down jobs because of that. The minute you need to cross a river, you are STUCK. There is no way out.

The limited number of river crossings on the south side does increase the commute time.

If you're looking for a place to live, try Eden Prairie or Chanhassen.
